selecting only working days from NSDate in objective c - ios

Question

My concern is..if am having text field with start date.when i am selecting date from calendar with day of Friday..then i want to skip weekend days saturday and sunday in enddate text field...i tried like this
NSString *strCurrentDate;
NSString *strNewDate;
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *df =[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[df setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
[df setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
strCurrentDate = [df stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(#"Current Date and Time: %#",strCurrentDate);
int hoursToAdd = roundedUp;
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[components setDay:hoursToAdd];
NSDate *newDate= [calendar dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:date options:0];
[df setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd"];
[df setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
strNewDate = [df stringFromDate:newDate];
NSLog(#"New Date and Time: %#",strNewDate);
while ([strNewDate compare:strCurrentDate] == NSOrderedAscending)
{
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [calendar components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:strNewDate];
if (dateComponents.weekday == friday)
{
count = count+2;
NSLog(#"count = %d", count);
NSDateComponents *oneDay = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[oneDay setDay:2];
NSString *endDate = [strNewDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:2*60*60*24];
// [oneDay setDay:2];
}
}
But I am not getting only week days… so can any one do the needful… thank u in advance :)

To get the next working day from now use the method isDateInWeekend of NSCalendar
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
// Strip the time portion of the date
NSDate *date = [calendar startOfDayForDate:[NSDate date]];
do {
// add 1 day until the result is not in a weekend
date = [calendar dateByAddingUnit:NSCalendarUnitDay value:1 toDate:date options:NSCalendarMatchNextTime];
} while (![calendar isDateInWeekend:date]);
NSLog(#"Next Workday: %#", date);
